When to use it

A fast drum-bus and percussion saturator with few controls. It is the drum-focused sibling of JST Extra Spice and JST Heat (JST Heat includes a "Blow Torch" mode). For a broader, well-known tube-style saturator, Soundtoys Decapitator is the rated reference; Blow Torch is the cheaper, simpler option for rock and metal drums.
